APRAXIA DALLAS

Education and Training > Language and Speech Services

Apraxia Dallas, founded over 20 years ago by Kay Giesecke, is a small private practice composed of five speech-language pathologists. We treat children starting at two years of age with a variety of communication disorders, including childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), dysarthria, stuttering/fluency, phonological processing, articulation, and expressive and receptive language delays/disorders.

We evaluate and differentially diagnosis all of the above disorders. Evaluations vary in length from 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the age of the child and their abilities. A full, detailed report is included in the cost of all evaluations.

All of our speech-language pathologists have received extensive training in motor speech disorders, particularly Childhood Apraxia of Speech. Our speech language pathologists each hold a Master’s degree and the American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA) Certificate of Clinical Competence and are licensed by the State of Texas to provide speech therapy.

Our therapy is highly individualized to the needs of the child and the family. We adjust the length and frequency of therapy sessions based on what works best for the child and the family. Parents and caregivers are asked to attend most if not all therapy sessions so that they are fully informed about their child’s goals, progress and how to best carry over at home. We find that children make faster progress when their parents and caregivers are educated about how to help them outside of the therapy room.
We plan our therapy sessions to target each child’s individual goals as well as use materials that will motivate the child and encourage them to communicate. We encourage families to check-out the toys and materials (free of cost!) used during sessions so that children are excited to practice at home, too.
